Hello cjmcolacole here and I have been dying to get my ideas out! so here is a sorta list thingy:
1: I think that the next halo should have multiple melee weapons that come in a load out. my ideas were the basic one that we have now which is a single punch or somethin like that. the other is a knife. I was thinking that this knife could speed up assassinations but it would take 2 shots to destroy a shield and only one shot to take out someone with no shields. The last one that i thought of is a simple kick. now this kick would stagger the opponent for a short time allowing you to get some shots on hime. it would also send him back a little, allowing you to push your enemy off ledges. though it gives quite the benefits it would take 4 or five shots to kill a person solely with the kick. these elements would spice up the game and add more customization to your load out.
2: I want to see more “traps” in halo. an example would be vertigo, where you shoot a target and it unleashes energy that takes out your shields. I really like it and forced you to pay attention. but dont think that it should be just that exactly. it would be cool if you could activate a pit and watch your foe fall in, or be able to shoot a wire holding something up and having it crush your enemy. turrets would be a nice feature too. what i was thinking is that there would be a certain location where you could activate the turrets but the team would be able to turn it off or simply destroy the things, adding a sense of the need for defense.
3: Teamwork is already clearly present in Halo, but i would like to add more. (also Im so sorry for all these spelling mistakes please forgive me. there is a reason im not on a development team) i was thinking ammo sharing. this would allow your team to always be lock and loaded and ready to fight. another idea of mine would be a certain weapon solely meant for reviving team mates. the team with this weapon would have great power, and it would be a waste not to use it almost forcing team work. at last i think that there should be an armor ability that allows you to see through your team mates eyes allowing you to give them tips, or letting you know where the action is, allowing you sto save team mates. the screen that shows your team mates view would be in the top right corner and big enough to allow you to see your screen.
4: vehicles are one of the things that make Halo my favorite first person shooter. you know where im going with this. i was thinking a jet used by the forerunners (god i hope i spelt that right) that shots beams that do tons of damage but take time to charge, and a secondary weapon that shoots like a banshee but less effective. Sure this seems out of place for a Halo map but keep reading to find out how i have it work. next vehicle is a Pelican. im sure that im not the first person to say that it would be cool to fly a pelican. also i miss the falcon. come on 343 let it happen!
Comment on what you like best and i have plenty of more ideas so comment for those too!
